Last year I read a book by one of the top oncologists in the U.S., who's been in the field for five decades and held senior positions at leading institutions. He did not have good things to say about the FDA.
In decades past, researchers could come up with ideas and use them on patients who had no other options, and often saved lives that way. The field advanced quickly. Now progress has slowed and clinical practice lags well behind the state of the art in research, largely due to FDA restrictions.
